Dain has well fleshed out motivation for why he how he is. <BR/> Though btw, if you read Captives of the Night, which features a lot of the same characters, there's some inconsistencies between in and LoS. They're not huge, but somewhat noticable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-61493127261251045222009-01-25T13:59:00.000-07:002009-01-25T13:59:00.000-07:00Exactly - I'm actually reading "Lord of Scoundrels...Exactly - I'm actually reading "Lord of Scoundrels" for the first time, and it has a dark, alpha-male with revenge and women issues, and I'm enjoying this book pretty well so far. <BR/><BR/>The HEA was, in my opinion, WAY WAY too rushed. It almost read: "crap! gotta make my deadline!"<BR/><BR/>Everod is definitely a Not Nice Person. I mean, when you think about it, his revenge wasn't really on Maura, but on his family and Georgette. Even though he realizes that she's not wholly to blame for what happened, he's STILL willing to use and ruin her so long as the other people suffer. That's what I didn't like.AnimeJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18229748454410488167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-72895731433400998582009-01-25T07:05:00.000-07:002009-01-25T07:05:00.000-07:00I bought this because the reviews were good and I ...I bought this because the reviews were good and I admit I like the occasional dark her obssessed with heroine either in love/hate whatever plot every now and then...WHEN WRITTEN WELL.<BR/> The thing that got me about this was, Everod is so bent on revenge on Maura, but then at times he was slipping into a different feeling character. I felt he was inconsistent sometimes and that their resolution/HEA was too rushed.<BR/> And I think I was also bothered because generally, I LIKE all the heroes in the books I have, but Everod? Is a douche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
